We
decided to start the book cafe on a whim and entirely
in-line with our
own philosophy. We have 3 loves (maybe more): books,
coffee,
and beer -
not necessarily in that order. And supposedly,
combining them
might
lead to some nebulous region that defies our current
understanding of
the space-time continuum. The great flying spaghetti
monster
came to us
in a dream and told us that such a spot would prevent
future
pirate
attacks on Busan. You’re welcome.

During the mornings and
afternoons, we've got a selection of over 1000 used books,
espressos,
smoothies, and other drinks on offer.

At night, beer and wine
are the ticket. For beer, we have OB golden lager on tap
as well as
Tiger, San Miguel, and Leffe Blonde bottles at 5000 weon.
We also offer
a wide selection of wine.

We are also suckers for our particular
location in Busan. We have a combined 14 years-lived
in the
Kyungsung
area and would love to see it continue to
flourish. The Busan
community
has been a generous and sensuous lover, and we fancy
the opportunity to
titillate, stimulate and in any way reciprocate the
community’s hospitality. We hope that our spot
provides
something that
was duly needed ? a used bookstore (hooray!) that
doubles as a
quieter
place to sit with good music and play a few board
games or
card games,
beer/wine/coffee in hand.

We have designed and filled our
place with all kinds of interesting art forms
that contribute
to our
vision. We like it, and would love to share it with you.
We
are located
in the heart of Kyungsung, directly opposite the Chinese
Lamb
Skewer restaurant. We are on the second floor above
G&G Real
Estate, just look for our green door. We welcome you
to check
out our
new “nook” and hope that it “kindles” your interest.

* Note: Please strike all mention of those electronic
abominations! *

Come check us out for a coffee, a read, or a pint!

Fully
Booked’s
Book Policy

In
an effort to keep great books on the shelf, we have
tried to create a
policy that will give the best selection, and offer you,
our beloved
customer, a great trade-in policy.

Our Books

Books
are generally sold at half off their paperback cover
price, although
there are exceptions due to condition, age, popularity
and whether we
have it in stock. You can trade-in our books (they must
have the “Fully
Booked” stamp) for in-store credit. You will receive 50%
of what we
sold the book for. If you prefer cash, you can receive
25% of our sales
price back.

Keep in mind, the books you trade-in should be in no
worse condition than when you bought them.

Outside Books

You
are welcome and encouraged to trade-in your other books
at our store.
Again, we sell books at roughly 50% of their paperback
cover price. We
will give you 40% of our price in-store credit. If you
prefer cash, we
offer up to 20% of our price. In the case of hardcover
books, they are
priced the same as paperbacks. Recall that condition,
age, popularity
and whether we have it in stock are important.

Also…

Be
kind to your books like Stephane. Don’t sit on them, use
them as a
plate, or try to read them while walking in the rain,
like Tim. We
cannot accept books with broken bindings, missing pages,
water damage,
or other kinds of serious damage. As our bookstore is
new, in an effort
to provide as many books as possible, some of our
initial stock does
have damage. Please note this when you purchase the
book. Did you read
this far? If so, say, “pomegranate” and receive a
complimentary high-5.

Location:
Get off at Kyungsung/Pukyung subway stop and take Exit 1.
Hang your
first right and then your first left. Walk for 3 blocks.
We are
kiddy-corner to the Top-Mart, above the yellow Budong-san
on the 2nd
floor. Look for the green doors and head up the stairs.
